An outstanding real estate practitioner!
I have recently had the pleasure of engaging the services of Siobhan Beeston in the very successful sale of my parents' property in Berwick. From the outset I was struck by Siobhan's genuine passion and and enthusiasm for their lovely home and garden. It was easy to imagine her extolling its virtues and potential desirability to prospective buyers with true authenticity as well as her sincere conviction that the house and its attractive surroundings and location were unique, special and hard to replicate. Siobhan was fast, efficient and professional in managing the marketing campaign for the property and, at all times, willing to accept and accommodate my feedback. The most distinguishing and exceptional aspect of my dealings with Siobhan, however, was her ability to listen, hear and act upon my specific financial expectations and instructions for the sale. Throughout our discussions about setting a price and the sales strategy itself, Siobhan listened carefully, added counsel and context where needed, but at all times remained aligned with, and supportive of, my financial goal and rationale for it. In relation to the pros and cons of a private sale versus an auction, Siobhan offered excellent strategic advice based on her local market knowledge, real estate trend analysis and broader economic and social factors and this was all greatly appreciated and valuable given the final sale outcome. Her negotiating skills - especially over the final last days with the ultimate purchaser - were extremely impressive. Siobhan showed great care and patience - and quiet determination - in securing the sales price I sought and the way in which she dealt with the successful buyer, respectfully, honestly, courteously, firmly but with great consideration to the overall financial objective - were very commendable indeed.
Siobhan has exemplary selling skills, is a first class operator and a delight to work with. I couldn't recommend her too highly.
